MAORI LEASED LAND IN CANTERBURY
INVESTIGATION SUGGESTED A feature of the work, of the Ikaroa and South Island Native Land Court during the last year was the number of cases heard involving applications under the Native Land Act to have the Native Trustee appointed agent for the owners of blocks of Maori land in the South Island. “In Canterbury especially,” says the annual report of the Native Department (which has just been presented to Parliament), “there are ; large areas which appear to be occupied otherwise than by virtue of leases confirmed by the Court. It is often found that an inadequate rental is being paid in such cases, and that neighbouring owners are receiving r,ents from the occupiers in exclusion of absentees.” The position, it was stated, called for a comprehensive survey of tenures when conditions were again normal. . In spite of war conditions the number of alienations of Maori land for confirmation by the Court in both districts had been maintained during the year.
